3/30/13- Spirit of Truth

26“When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father—the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father—he will testify about me. 27And you also must testify, for you have been with me from the beginning. (John 16:26-27)

Thoughts: The Holy Spirit, is our advocate- our lawyer- our counselor.  The Greek word is "Parakletos" the one called along side to help us.  The Spirit is the Spirit of truth.  So the Spirit does not contradict Himself or change His mind, His promise, His truth.  But the Spirit leads us into truth, and leads us to share (testify to) the truth.  Jesus was saying that the Disciples not only may testify, or should testify, but they must.  The longer we have been with Jesus the more we want to speak of Him.  

Prayer: Holy Spirit, lead me into your truth, and give me the opportunity to share that truth.
